Hazmat crews were able to locate active ammonia and create a safe zone around the building as they worked to ventilate the building.

Staff and patrons were able to self-evacuate, and no injuries were reported.

Crews worked with the arena’s refrigeration contractor to make sure the building was safe while further repairs are planned.
